This review explores the OK! Beauty Box Sleep Better Box, a limited-edition collection of beauty and wellness products designed to improve sleep quality. The author personally tested each product and shares their experience, highlighting both the pros and cons.
Like many of us, I'm always on the hunt for ways to improve my sleep. It's a common issue, with a study revealing that 71% of UK adults struggle to get their recommended nine hours of sleep each night. If this rings true for you, I've got just the thing. OK! Beauty Box has launched a limited-edition Sleep Better Box filled with beauty and wellness products designed to promote a good night's sleep.
The box, which costs £60, is packed with nine full-size items – from skincare and sleep masks to candles and pillow cases – worth over £245 in total. Intrigued to see if it could enhance my sleep, I tested every product one evening. Here's what I discovered... My initial thoughts were that this box would make a fantastic gift – even as a treat for yourself. It's beautifully packaged and every item feels like a luxury; immediate standouts included the Aromatherapy Associates Support Breathe Bath and Shower Oil, a favourite I buy for my mum every Christmas, and the Perfect Night's Sleep Pillow Mist by NEOM, one of my go-to home fragrance brands, reports the Mirror. Here's a rundown of everything inside:I kicked off my relaxing evening by lighting the Purscents candle, which has notes of cedarwood, lavender and lemon, and drawing a bath with a splash of Aromatherapy Associates bath oil. The scents from both filled my entire home. After a calming soak, I slipped into my PJs and followed my usual evening skincare routine, finishing with the Avant Skincare Moisture Surge Overnight Treatment. This cream has a rich texture but absorbs quickly, leaving my skin feeling super soft and smooth. Next, I hopped into bed, which was decked out with So Eco satin pillowcases (they feel luxurious and cool) and had been spritzed with NEOM mist. I then spritzed a light layer of Disciple Sleep Mist over my face for extra hydration and applied the grüum roller ball onto my wrists, inhaling the calming scents. To be honest, I find self-heating masks a bit uncomfortable on my eyes, but I know many beauty editors who swear by them. Instead, I always sleep with a silk eye mask, even when I'm not at home, so I popped on this stylish navy one, set my Lumie clock to play thunderstorm sounds, and settled down for a good night's sleep. Despite a few interruptions from my cats, I had a much better night's sleep than usual. I think this was mainly due to the combination of aromatherapy scents and relaxing rituals, and taking time for self-care instead of scrolling on my phone for hours. While I won't use every product every night (the lack of matching bedding does bother me!), many of these products will now become regulars in my routine. The value is also excellent. I usually buy Aromatherapy Associates' bath and shower oil as gifts, which costs £58, so for just £2 extra you're getting eight other products. If you're looking for a treat for someone, this box gets my vote. For those seeking a Valentine's Day gift, LOOKFANTASTIC 'With Love' Valentine's Edit is a great idea – it costs £50 but is worth £195, and includes popular brands such as Elemis and Sol de Janeiro. Meanwhile, Space NK is selling its 2024 Best of Beauty Edit for £100, containing the likes of Olaplex, Milk Makeup and Charlotte Tilbury
